There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 10 Bai Ze's Hypocrisy

Hao Chen hadn't expected Di Ting to arrive, and was initially quite surprised, since Di Ting hadn't appeared so early in either the comics or the anime.

However, after his trip to the Nanshan alternate dimension, Hao Chen also realized that this was a real world, and the memories of the beasts in his mind were at most just a reference point, allowing him to know their names.

The moment I appeared in this world, the world began to develop in an unknown direction.

Just as Hao Chen was pondering the purpose of Di Ting's visit to the Deer Man's shop, the Four-Faced Beast spoke up, "I didn't expect that you, such a busy person, would come here this time."

Di Ting waved his hand and said, "Fourth Boss, you're too kind. After all, the Underworld, the Mortal Realm, and the Heavenly Realm are all interdependent. Now that the Mortal Realm is in trouble, how can we sit idly by?"

"That being said, I still want to thank you. Please come in and have a seat." The four-legged creature reached out and grabbed Di Ting's paw, leading him into the deer-man's shop. Seeing this, Hao Chen followed him inside.

While the Qi Xiang was making tea, Hao Chen chatted a lot with Di Ting. Through the conversation between Di Ting and the Qi Xiang, Hao Chen learned that Di Ting had come with his master, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, to deal with the problems on Nanshan.

However, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is worried that Nanshan will cause problems again, so he is currently setting up an array in Nanshan to seal the alternate dimension where Xie Yu is located. Di Ting has come to find out what happened in Nanshan back then.

Just then, Tianlu, who had finished eating, walked over and naturally saw Diting standing to the side: "Wow, a Qilin! When did such a big dog come to our house?!"

Upon hearing this, the Qilin looked at Diting apologetically and said, "Haha, that's just how Pipi is, don't mind him."

Di Ting shook his head and said, "It's nothing. In fact, I should thank them for their help. Otherwise, the matter in Nanshan would probably not have been so easy to handle."

Some of the strange creatures didn't expect that before they could say anything, the Di Ting seemed to already know the whole process.

When Di Ting noticed the strange creature's surprise, he explained, "Don't be too surprised. The earth will tell me what I want to know."

"Since that's the case, is there something you need my help with?" the Qilin asked after serving Di Ting a cup of tea.

When Di Ting heard the Qilin ask him why he came to the Deer Man's Shop, he looked troubled: "After coming to the mortal world, I saw a small advertisement on the roadside. I heard that this place can help divine beasts solve their problems, so I found the Deer Man's Shop."

The Qilin nodded and said, "Of course, is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Diting?"

"I've been having trouble sleeping lately... What are you doing?"

After hearing that the Four-Faced Beast could help, Di Ting started talking about his insomnia problem. Before he could finish speaking, he found that the Four-Faced Beast had teleported behind him and was even stroking his tail.

The Qilin, oblivious to the fact that Di Ting's face was gradually turning red with embarrassment, continued to stroke Di Ting's tail, saying, "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it."

When Hao Chen saw the Qilin touching Di Ting's tail, his pupils widened and he unconsciously walked towards Di Ting and the Qilin.

Hao Chen didn't say that he also wanted to touch Di Ting's tail. After all, if he said it, there was a possibility of being rejected. If he didn't say it, he would definitely not be rejected.

Amidst Di Ting's puzzled gaze, Hao Chen also came up behind him, shoved the Qilin aside, and started stroking Di Ting's tail.

"It's so cool and refreshing, it feels so good." Hao Chen, like a lovesick fool, pulled Di Ting's tail and rubbed it against his face.

Seeing this, the Qilin showed no mercy and kicked Hao Chen away with a single kick: "Awakening Hoof!"

After kicking Hao Chen away, the Qilin continued to pluck Di Ting's tail a few more times. Then, looking at the tuft of black and white fur in its paws, the Qilin naturally tucked Di Ting's fur into its cloak.

Then the four-legged creature said, "I see, I understand now. Insomnia causes hair loss. This is not uncommon among mythical beasts. Don't worry, there's a treasure in the shop that's perfect for you."

After saying that, the Four-Unlikes took Di Ting to the warehouse where he stored miscellaneous items. Hao Chen, who had been kicked away, came to Tian Lu's side with his face covered in redness and swelling: "Tian Lu, the Four-Unlikes is so mean! My face hurts so much! Look how swollen it is!"

Seeing Haochen's aggrieved look, Tianlu said, "It's okay, I'll blow on it for you, you'll recover soon."

Hao Chen looked at Tian Lu, who was right in front of him, and his old problem flared up again. His face no longer hurt, but instead, he suddenly found a surge of strength and pounced on Tian Lu, knocking him to the ground and pinning him down.

"Haha, Tianlu was completely outmatched, Haochen wins."

"That doesn't count, you're cheating, let's go again."

Tianlu thought Haochen was just playing with him, and with a quick roll, he pinned Haochen beneath him. But before Tianlu could even rejoice, Haochen quickly pinned him down again.

Hao Chen held Tian Lu's limbs down tightly, wrapped his tail around Tian Lu's tail, and finally buried his face in Tian Lu's neck and sucked on it.

"Damn it, Haochen, this doesn't count. Let's do it again. I haven't lost yet."

Tianlu struggled incessantly, thinking that Haochen was playing a game with him, unaware that he had already been kicked away and Haochen had taken full advantage of him.

But Hao Chen didn't know that he was bullying Tian Lu now, and he would suffer the consequences later when Bi Xie appeared. But that's a story for another time.

On the other side, after arriving at the warehouse, the Qilin began rummaging through a pile of miscellaneous items, saying, "Let me see... where was it again?"

The Di Ting behind him crossed its paws and looked at the Qilin that seemed to be searching for something in a garbage dump. It said speechlessly, "Fourth Boss, you're too casual."

"Don't worry about it. There's a lot of stuff, and I'm usually alone, so I haven't tidied up," the four-legged creature explained.

Then, the Four-Faced Beast took out a white pillow from a pile of miscellaneous items and handed it to Di Ting: "Found it. This is the Bai Ze pillow that is consigned in the store. It is filled with 100% Bai Ze hair, which can make people feel one with nature. It has a miraculous effect on hair loss caused by insomnia and excessive dreaming."

Di Ting looked at the Bai Ze pillow he was holding; it looked just like an ordinary pillow. He began to doubt whether he had been fooled by the Qilin.

"A Bai Ze pillow? It looks so ordinary. Why are they selling Bai Ze's fur now..."

"And does this really cure insomnia and remove hair? Let me ask."

As it spoke, Di Ting lay down on the ground right in front of the Qilin and said, "Earth, oh Earth, will this be of any use to me?"

The earth spoke in a voice that only the discerning ear could hear: "Useful, useful, useful."

The Qilin looked at Diting lying in front of it. Because it couldn't hear the sound of the earth, the Qilin thought Diting was thanking it and quickly said, "Why make such a big gesture?"

Upon hearing Da Di's words, Di Ting became excited, grabbed the Qilin's shoulder, and exclaimed happily, "It actually works! I'll buy them! Give me ten!!!"

When the Qilin heard that Di Ting had asked for ten Bai Ze pillows in one go, it revealed a sly smile and said, "Thank you for your patronage. Our shop is just a consignment store. You can just transfer the money to Bai Ze directly. I will give you the address."

After saying that, the four-legged creature started to calculate in its mind. This time, it helped Bai Ze sell ten Bai Ze pillows in one go, and it could earn a large commission. It didn't even have to spend any money itself. It was a huge profit.

Not long after, Bai Ze, who was staying at Guanyin Bodhisattva's house in the capital, was sleeping when he suddenly felt something was wrong with his body: "Why does my back feel a little hot..."

After Bai Ze got up, he found that many burning paper money appeared out of thin air and fell towards him.

"What?! What's going on? Where did this paper money come from?!"

"This paper money... Oh no! Could it be that Di Ting has come to the mortal realm? No, that guy is too troublesome, I have to slip away first."

The moment Bai Ze saw the paper money, he thought of Di Ting, but he seemed to have thought of something bad and did not intend to stay any longer. Instead, he climbed out of the window next to him.

But just as Bai Ze poked his head out, before his tail and feet could even emerge, Di Ting appeared behind him: "Sir, I've come to see you... Ah, where are you going?"

When Di Ting saw Bai Ze trying to leave through the window, it skillfully bit Bai Ze's tail and pulled him back inside.

Bai Ze looked at Di Ting with a helpless expression: "Where did you come in from?"

Di Ting pretended not to hear Bai Ze's words, or perhaps he really didn't hear them, and said to himself, "Sir, it's been a long time! I brought you a gift! This is a special edition of the Big Frog from the Underworld."

Di Ting had specifically inquired about this gift; he hadn't expected that Bai Ze, who seemed so mature and reliable, would actually like dolls.

Then Di Ting took out a bunch of small Wan Neng and placed them in front of Bai Ze: "Sir, your taste has changed quite a bit over the years. And small Wan Neng, I bought several boxes of them. Getting through the winter won't be a problem!"

"Well."

Bai Ze looked at the big frog in Di Ting's hand and the little Wan Neng on the ground, feeling very conflicted. He wanted to accept Di Ting's gift, but he was also afraid of Di Ting's personality.

Unexpectedly, while Bai Ze hesitated, Di Ting drew a circle on the ground with the words "Bai Ze collect" written next to it. Then, it put the things it brought into the circle, and took out a torch from somewhere, burning Xiao Wan Neng and Da Gua Gua to ashes.

"I'll burn them for you right away, sir! Please wait a moment."

Bai Ze, with an expression that said he already knew, shouted at Di Ting, "I knew it! Stop right now!! Can't you just give it to me directly?! Can't you change this occupational habit?!!"

Upon hearing Bai Ze's words, Di Ting immediately extinguished the fire, then lowered its head like a child who had done something wrong, and stood obediently in front of Bai Ze.

Bai Ze was still not satisfied and yelled at Di Ting, "You better stop this! Couldn't you have at least given me a heads-up before coming? Of course, even if you had, I wouldn't have let you come! In short, I don't want to see you right now, go back!"

When Di Ting heard that Bai Ze wanted to send him away, he felt an indescribable sadness. He wanted to continue visiting Bai Ze and did not want to leave so soon.

So Di Ting lay down on the ground and said to the earth, "Earth, oh Earth, is the master serious?"

And the earth itself spoke, listening intently to the answer it had been waiting for: "No, no, no."

White Pond:"……"

Di Ting knew that the earth wouldn't lie to him, so the only one lying to him was Bai Ze. However, Di Ting wasn't angry; instead, he was quite happy.

"So you were just shy, sir. Don't worry, I'll come to visit you often."

As he spoke, Di Ting leaned against Bai Ze's side, constantly telling Bai Ze about the interesting things he had encountered, and repeatedly asking Bai Ze how he was doing lately and if he needed any help.

In the end, Di Ting seemed to get tired of talking and actually fell asleep on Bai Ze's tail.

Di Ting can distinguish things by listening and is good at listening to people's hearts. Therefore, no matter how much Bai Ze says he hates Di Ting, Di Ting can always tell that he is not telling the truth, and thus continues to pester Bai Ze.

Bai Ze looked at Di Ting, who was sleeping while hugging its tail. While angry, it couldn't bear to disturb Di Ting, so it quietly lay to the side, sulking to itself.

"Tsk, that's why I said this guy is a problem!"

As Bai Ze watched Di Ting sleeping, he unknowingly began to feel sleepy as well.

Although Bai Ze said he didn't like Di Ting, it seemed that he was trying to get revenge on Di Ting, so he turned around and hugged Di Ting's tail to fall asleep.

When Di Ting sensed Bai Ze hugging his tail, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, and then he actually lay down on Bai Ze's tail and fell asleep.
